How to Get Grass Stains Out of Football Uniforms
- 1). Remove any pads attached to the uniform immediately after a football game. Rinse the uniform in a sink to remove all the loose dirt and mud. You can also hang the uniform on a clothesline and spray it off with a garden hose.
- 2). Soak the uniform in the bucket for one hour or leave it to soak overnight for heavy stains.
- 3). Inspect the uniform after it presoaks. If you still notice the grass stains, blot them with one part vinegar and two parts water. You can use full strength vinegar on heavy grass stains. Rub the vinegar into the stain and allow it to set for two to three hours.
- 4). Wash the football uniform by itself in the washer. Use cold water and regular laundry detergent. Avoid using hot water because it can fade the letters and numbers on the uniform.
- 5). Hang the uniform up to dry. Do not place the uniform in the dryer because it will cause the stains to become permanent if they did not come out and it can cause the uniform to shrink. Hang it up to dry and avoid direct sunlight.
